No I don't think it's a scam to redo his experiment but weather the ppl raising the cash well who knows ..

What a up rour it would cause if it was shown to work .Those Coal Miners or gas workers or all that Uranium we got .

But it could be dangerous as well. Tesla did show some of his theory's worked from video footage shoot back then but on a small scale by lighting light bulbs with no wires attached and they where not fluorescent lights which do light up if you stand under high voltage lines.

It was said that this tec could also be used to destroy city's too

Tesla had a brillant mind and was ahead of his time we can all thank him for AC current

The tower was to be a radio antenna. Even if you could transmit commercial quantities (mega watts) of electric power efficiently over long distances without wires (you can't) you would still need a source of that energy. The tower was never touted to PRODUCE energy.

We were able to transmit miniscule amounts of energy to power sensors used in the jungles of Vietnam and Cambodia using microwaves. We also receive satellite signals of very small power --also via microwaves.

I would label this idea as a hoax; sort of like the "what the power company doesn't want you to know" or "gain energy independence using this one WEIRD trick" type of scam that comes along as a paid ad with my E-mail.

This just reminded me of the scheme some men in Dublin(?) came up with a (ahem) plan for a perpetual energy device. It was fun to watch the scam tick down, and the "developers" quietly slink away with the money. The even ran a full page ad in The London Times or some such. Does anyone remember that?

I wonder if being near the tower caused people's hair to stand on end like it does near a van de graff generator. Tesla was surely a genius and maybe way ahead of his time. But I also think he was a tad off his rocker.Bob DeWoody

My motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow as it may not be required. This no longer applies in light of current events.

If Tesla said he can do it, then he could.
JP.Morgan did not discredit him over false inventions.

Haarp is now the result of this same invention but used in a different way.

As an energy wave circled the earth he said he could "SMACK" it as it came around, building in strength much like sound waves do when they bounce off of each other. Transmitting through the ground was how he would deliver the energy.
Like the ocean having a layer that will transmit very low frequency for thousands of miles the ground will transmit energy the same way.

His biggest problem was the word "FREE" to everyone.

We have the know how to do it now. Making money off of it is the reason we do not have it.
Corporations will not allow this to see the light.

HAARP is now used as a WEAPON. Will cause weather to change, can cause earthquakes by placing a billion watts on one spot of a fault line and tripping that fault to slip.
Haiti had steam rising from the ground just before the earthquake they had.

It is said that HAARP will also be used for mind control but I am skeptical about that.

The energy itself came from our own ionosphere where trillions of watts of energy is just waiting for us to tap it.

He truly was a genius.
JP Morgan did his evil deed well in discrediting him.
He died poor and discredited.

Best to read up on what Tesla said he was doing it was not using microwaves the energy is already in the atmosphere the tower was to be a receiver

That's only half of the story. According to candorchasma's links, the current goes from one tower to the other through Earth's crust and oceans (mostly the oceans) and returns through the upper atmosphere.

Haarp is one of many such stations.
High altitude aurora research is not what this system is about.
If they close it down to be sure it will continue just moved.
It is a weapon. I can see closing it down in the public eye as too many people know what it is already.

Too many earthquakes have been caused by it already.
Weather war is what it is all about. Cost the country that is being attacked lots of money rebuilding from a natural event.

Sorry to disappoint you Micheal but HARP is not what you think . It's a internet conspiracy lie

Harp is based on a Tech we invented back in the early 80's . Called the over the horizon radar it uses the ionosphere to bounce radar over the horizon thereby extending it's range from 40klm to 160klm.

It does not cause Earthquakes or change the weather . If it did don't you think it would have been used all ready say in Iraq or Afganistan or why is the US gov not using it in Syria or Crimea ?????

Frankly, I'm amazed that it's being shut down, as its full size was just fairly recently completed. There are atmospheric heaters all over the world; one example: the the heater at Tromso, Norway. Our beloved Arecibo complex has been used in atmospheric heater experiments. Nothing woo-woo, just the usual governmental secrecy - note how the underground facilities are disguised in the white paper cited above.
